UNSG and ICC President Statement on the Occasion of the 10th Anniversary of the UN–ICC Relationship Agreement

The Secretary General of the United Nations and the President of the International Criminal Court welcome the tenth anniversary of the entry-into-force of the Relationship Agreement between the United Nations and the International Criminal Court. 

The conclusion of the Relationship Agreement was a significant milestone in the collective efforts of the international community to end impunity for the most serious crimes of international concern. 

The Agreement is founded on a shared belief that peace can only be served if those responsible for the suffering of the victims of unimaginable atrocities are brought to justice.

The Relationship Agreement has provided a solid basis for cooperation between the United Nations and the International Criminal Court in a wide range of fields.

We are fully committed to strengthening the partnership between our two organizations, which is indispensable for a strong international community and the protection of the interests of humanity.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the International Criminal Court
